Just wire 2 110V chargers in series LOL.
Acctually, I don't reccomend it, but it will work.

you don't understand him.outside the USA.electrical wall outlets use 220v whereas the USA use 110v.if he plug his US 110v charger in a wall socket in africa,he'll fry it(i did fried mine that way)

Just get a 220v to 110v converter. It should have an adapter that you can simply plug your existing charger cord in to. Just make sure you get one that specifically is setup for South African outlets. They may have a "unique" style. ;)

or get a travel plug adapter. if the different plug types make it awkward.
if u need it and struggle, why not get someone in uk to ship one.

Yes, I DO UNDERSTAND HIM. I am an Electrician, I understand. I was trying to make humor, but I guess it was lost.... I was meaning if you series up the wall plug end(not reccomending someone try it) 2 110V item's, if there the same, like a glow plug charger power supply, or 100Watt lightbulb's will each split the 220V so that each see's 110V It's the reverse of adding batteries together. Or, like running 2 motor's in series off 12 volt's. Each motor get's only 6 volt's.

Seriously though, they sell power converter's. My advice is to get one, because you most likely will find alot more 110V opperated thing's to take than just the glow ignitor charger.

yeah there is a LHS 15 minutes away from there but things are cheaper over here so im am getting a novak ionic charger which can work here and there and a converter.I might get internet there to but not DSL im getting 56K if i dont i will miss everyone at RCZ.
